NBC News broke the story on Tuesday that Facebook recently began offering the egg-freezing service and that Apple's equivalent will begin in January. The Silicon Valley firms are reportedly the first employers to offer egg freezing for non-medical reasons.

The logic behind the egg-freezing coverage is that it will enable young, female employees to develop their careers first without compromising their fertility.
